Diners expecting to grab a slice at Linda’s Pizzeria on Greenback Lane this month found themselves met with a closed door and taped-off parking lot, after the restaurant reported leasing issues led to the location’s recent closure.
“It’s with great sadness that Linda’s Pizzeria has to report we have lost our lease negotiations and will be closing this location,” a notice taped on the side glass door reads, announcing the restaurant’s final day of August 30, 2015. “We’ve had a wonderful 5 years in Citrus Heights and you have been a pleasure to serve.”
The establishment received an overall 4-out-of-5 star rating from 240 reviewers on Yelp, and a 7.7-out-of-10 user rating on Foursquare. Many reviewers raved about the Chicago-style pizza, while others gave a 1 or 2-star rating for complaints about taste or poor service from a waitress.

The pizzeria also received a good review from a sales associate at the neighboring mattress store located next door.
“They made a good pizza,” said Ward Matal, who works at Sleep Train. He said he’s hopeful a new pizza place or sandwich shop will take up the now-vacant location, since diners would often drop by the mattress store after grabbing a bite to eat.
Linda’s still has one remaining location on King Road in Loomis, which recently opened in April of this year, according to the pizzeria’s web site.
